The organisers behind the first London Technology Week have brought in communications help for the event.

Global marketing events company UBM Live has hired Clarity PR for June's showcase of tech, which is backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson and hosted in a variety of sites in the city including the Google Campus.

Its aim is to provide a platform for technology companies to gain global exposure, bringing business leaders, technology professionals and media together in east London's technology hub and nearby venues.

As well as hosting the press office for London Technology Week from its offices, Clarity will seek to drive attendees from across technology and digital marketing sectors while positioning UBM as the market leader in the technology conference space.

Laura Dagg is communications manager for London Technology Week, which is hoped to draw at least 250,000 people.

She said: "London Technology Week is a new and exciting product for UBM Live; a unique event for the technology sector in which we can show off the talent and creativity of some of the UK’s most promising tech companies."

UBM Live is a founding partner of the event alongside Tech London Advocates and London and Partners.
